Love them too. Have one at home. Was trying to tell a photographer neighbor where I lived and he said “the house with the beautiful tree”. My wife found some saplings at the seedling bank near Trinoma and we planted them in Canlubang where we hope one day to build a house. By the way, your photos are pretty good.

I grew up and lived in the housing compound by the Esso/BRC/Petron Refinery until 1990. I am well familiar with the helipad and have fond memories of driving by the field and wondering which VIP was in town, flown in by helicopter.

I had forgotten about these trees until I saw this article and then I was reminded how beautiful the trees were. As a kid, I was very interested in collecting the blossoms to use for lutu-lutuan.

Years back, there were several of those fire trees lined along Gil Puyat ave, Makati and during its season the trees are blazing with flowers and also comes all the ‘worms/higad’ are also in bloom. So when the wind blows all the passengers waiting for buses/ jeepneys has their share of higad that they all run in commotion.
